One caress

Violines y violoncelos marcan el inicio de la canción más triste de Depeche. Y la catalogo como triste pues la escuché ininterrumpidamente cuando me enteré del diagnóstico del cancer que arrancó la vida de mi madre. Por ello, esta música me recuerda los últimos días que pasé con mi mamita.

Well I’m down on my knees again
And I pray to the only one
Who has the strength
To bear the pain
To forgive all the things that I’ve done

Oh Girl
Lead me into your darkness
When this world is trying it’s hardest
To leave me unimpressed
Just one caress
From you and I’m blessed

When you think you’ve tried every road
Every avenue
Take one more look
At what you found old
And in it you’ll find something new

I’m shying from the light
I always loved the night
And now you offer me eternal darkness

I have to believe that sin
Can make a better man
It’s the mood that I am in
That left us back where we began
